WARNING SIGNS (3): “WE DID NOT ACTUALLY HAVE SEX”

One of the challenging jobs of a pastor would likely be that of confronting people with tough questions and challenging them to holy living. Sitting with that young man in my office that day took a lot of courage. When I asked, “Have you been fornicating?”. His eyes dropped, but his answer reflected the deficiency that hell fed on as […]

WARNING SIGNS (2) – “WE ARE BOTH MARRIED”

Years back, I had just asked a senior friend that he hold me accountable for my walk on sexual purity when he told me a story: He was working in the same office with the wife of a dear friend of his. The initial “She is my sister, and He is my brother” all looked amazing as Christians. They watched […]

WARNING SIGNS (1)- “Harmless Social Media Clips”

I noticed that in a bid to catch some rest off work, I spent time from one social media clip to the other. You click on one video teaching that blesses you. The next is also a powerful teaching, but the one afterwards is a movie clip with suggestive words, indecently dressed and suggestive scenes. Then you stumble on clips that […]

DEAL WITH THE SPIRIT OF FEAR 

One of my sons in the Lord who is just growing in the faith mentioned that he had been plagued for a season with the fear of death in his life and his family. He had become fearful. There was even pressure (due to his background) to make some rituals to appease a strange deity.  I laughed and asked him, […]

DO NOT HELP THE BURGLAR

As I stood in front of our house some time ago, I noticed that there was an old cutlass close by. It was a very strong one. I told the person with me that “Kindly keep the cutlass away from the entrance”. He wanted some explanation and I said to him, “It would be inappropriate to supply a burglar with […]

UNTIL YOU REALIZE THAT “YOU ARE PREGNANT”

As a young couple, we were trusting God for the fruit of the womb. At a point, it became a worry. We did some hospital visits. Then, we decided that we would not allow worrying about what we were waiting for deny us the enjoyment of what we had- we had one another! We became really joyful. Irewamiri began to […]

MASTER THIS IF YOU WILL AMOUNT TO ANYTHING IN LIFE…

One of the things I wouldn’t say I liked while growing up was the annual twenty-one days fast. As a pastor’s child, it was our annual convention month. We were encouraged to fast. Well! It is not as though there would be cooked food anyway. It was always tough, so I came up with a “strategic fasting plan.” As a […]

THE TWO BLESSINGS IN TOUGH TIMES

There was a particular year that my dad was bedridden for months. He would lie down on his back. I was young but I still remember some of the episodes vividly. There were times we had revival meetings in our local church and the guest preachers would visit our home to pray for my dad. This was in the early […]

THE CONSEQUENCE OF DISOBEDIENCE IS NOT ALWAYS NEGATIVE

A beloved teacher in the faith shared a powerful lesson: They had been trusting the Lord for a car for a while. They prayed and confessed about it for quite a while. One day, he had a meeting in Lagos, but the Lord prompted him to stop by first in Ibadan to visit a family he had always known. He […]

WHEN YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND, WORSHIP!

A dear one went through a really rough time. He mentioned that one day, our father in the faith called him and told him to spend time in worship at the altar or else the poison of the situation would settle on his soul and the effect would be terrible. He went to church and began to worship. It was […]
